ICFP Contest Releases Codex
howie writes "The ICFP Programming Contest begins on Friday and organizers have released the first part of the contest, the "codex". Contest organizers haven't (yet) given any details, but there's been lots of speculation on the discussion list -- the file contains some suggestive strings like "i love bees" and "MKULTRA". The organizers promise more information by noon (ET) on Friday."
"So dark the con of man" is an anagram used in the Da Vinci Code, which in itself has a codex as a main plot device.
Here's the gif.
